“非洲大陆很单纯，如果你去过欧洲，你就会知道它有多么复杂，他们想要的太多了，”马云说，并提及发达国家的法律和法规。“这里你不需要改变什么。”
The continent’s most important resource is its young people, which is why Ma was eager to share that he’d called South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa to encourage him to support young entrepreneurs. Still, waiting for the government to create the perfect business environment would be a waste of time. “We startups,” Ma said without irony, just need an open environment and trust to create jobs. Degrees from schools like Harvard and MIT weren’t necessary either: “Those are the white collar guys, they’ll never be entrepreneurs,” Ma said to rousing applause.
非洲最为重要的资源就是年轻人，这也是为什么马云渴望分享他称之为南非总统西里尔.拉马福萨鼓励他支持年轻企业家。不过，等待政府创造完美的商业环境将是浪费时间。马云不带讽刺的说，“我们初创公司，只需要一个开放的环境和充分的信任，哈佛和麻省理工学院的文凭也不是必要条件。那些人是白领，他们永远不会成为企业家。”马在热烈的掌声中说。
And in a few years, when African businesses have achieved this potential Ma so believes in, Alibaba will be there. All they’d need is a small 0.1% he said, his speech ending to a standing ovation.
若干年后，当非洲企业实现了这一潜力的时候，马云相信，阿里巴巴也将在那里。他所需要的只是一个小的0.1%，演讲结束，现场观众都起立鼓掌。
